boodler OF New York City--bccausc
he was convicted by the same kind
Of evidence that condemned Most.
The editorial comments of the
press on the two cases furnish inter-
esting reading to the thinker. AS
might be expected, while loud in
their praises of the fair trial which
condemned Most, they are eunan-
nous in denouncing the unfair evil
dence by which Jacob Sharpe was
convicted. However, both Sharpe
and Most are to have new trials, and
the result of each will have mate
rial effect upon the future of the
Government.
At all events, the outcome of the
Most case is fraught with lessons to
the Socialist. 1t has demonstrated
the impossibillty of securing a fair
trial for a man with a German name;
and it has served to substantiate
what we already know-that '1ynch
law governs the Republic.

THE DAY AFTER.
c. W. BECKETT.

1t lashed me like the scourge of Fate,
| could not work, could not rest,
So fierce flood of wrath and hate
Was raging in my breast
| could not rest, and turning north
From the huge town, ha stoned forth
To tire my restless limbs, and then
Think calmly of the murdered men.
By meadow green and coppice bare
And homely brook l sped my way;
1t seemed that Nature did not care
To mourn for yesterday.
Nor down each grassy village street,
Or windy common, did meet
One son of toll who had deserted
1t was for him our comrades died.
Not Natures carelessness | chide,
But the dull apathy of men,
Contented meekly to abide
Viewed in hopeless pen.
Because their fathers wore chain,
They bow the head and bear the pain
And rot, unknowing of their worth,
Whilst Labor is true lord of earth.
Yet not in vain We died, know,
In witness of the world to come;
Sure your reward, if haply slow;
Your deed shall not be dumb.
Though sighted now, a crown of glory
Shall yet, ere long, bedeck your story,
And ye, with many one, shall stand
TRANSPORTED in the martyr band.
See, with his foot upon the prey,
In seeming triumph Mammon stands,
And wipes contemptuously away
The crimson from his hands.
But ten times precious is the blood
That is poured out for brotherhood,
And when the hour at last is here,
This deed shall cost the monster dear.
But yonder, 10, far hence withdrawn
Through miles of night, fast stealing on,
That hideous mockery of the dawn,
The glare of Babylon
Ouf battlefield, wherein, at length,
Spoilers and spoiled shall measure
strength;
Even now they grid them for the fray,
Fearing and hoping for the day.

LACK OF LIFE-BOATs,

When the steamship Scholten sunk
near Dover yesterday 1t was discovered
that three of her five life.boats were
useless, and 1872 passengers paid for the
information with their lives.
Unconsidered triiles of this char.
acter, If persisted In, will result In
compelling passengers to get out and
walk, and we would suggest to the
steamship companies that they make
some provision against them. The
walking is very sloppy even In the
dryest weather. and passengers are
liable to contract colds, which may
result in pneumonia, consumption, and
other pulmonary troubles more or less
possible of fatal termination.

feel that life boats are really necessary,

WASHINGTON, NOV. 81, 1881.
"IOCEISE."

Mr.. Swinburnc tragedy, "Locrlne, ;"
is undoubtedly great poem. The
author has outgrown many of his earlier
defects. He Is no longer sensuous for
the mere sake Of being sensuous, but
deals with human passion In its intenser
phases for the sake of making his dc.
lincations serve something like a moral
purpose.
Locrine was one Of the early kings 4
Britain. lie was the victim of an un-
fortunate marriage aud OF still more
unfortunate craze for another woman.
Guendolcn became his wife 10y TIL OK
press wish Of bis father. 1t was a sort
of fixed up arrangement and no love
was lost ON either side.
Estrild was the widow of n Scythian
warrior, whom l.Dcrnu defeated in
battle, aud she, becoming his captive.
became also his mistress. BY his
lawful wife locrine had son, Madam,
who took mostly after his mother.
BY his Scy,hian paramour he had a
daughter, Sabinn, who was n sweet
unsophisticated girl living with her
mother In seclusion.
Locrinc had q brother, Gambler, who
was jealous of his superior rank and
power. Gambler was not lovely
person, being of somewhat vludictive
disposition, and having wormed out of
the Lord Chamberlain the history of
Locrine's Illicit amour, he spared no
lime in communicating the unpleasant
information to Locrine's wife, Guen.
dolen.
The latter thereupon arose In her
wrath and entered into combination
Will her son for the overthrow of her
'ai.hless husband, the king. The
result was that Locrine was defeated
and fatally wounded. Being brought
Into the presence Of Estrild, whose
place of retreat was In convenient reach
of the battle ground. she, despairing,
stabbed herself to death. and poor
Sabrina being left without friend In
The world leaped into the Severn River
and was drowned.
Guendolen, having thus disposed of
her enemies to her hearts content,
generously extended her forgiveness,
and the survivors eSeHnt.
1t Is o gruesome story of domestic
infelicity and has an infelicitous end
ing. Considering that Guendolen never
thought much Of her husband, 1t could
not have been so much jealousy of her
husband that prompted her to ven.
geance as supreme sense of honor,
attuned TO rather barbaric pitch. The
triumphs of virtue in those days were
little more than the triumphs of savage
Instincts apparently, yet Guendolcn
had most of the characteristics Of her
sex 10 its primitive conditions There
was no nonsense about her. She dis.
guised none of her sentiments with face
powder nor fed any of her vigorous
imaginings with caramels.
The tragedy or poem is In five acts.
Sometimes II Is a trile wearisome
Now and then the sense Is vague, and
the poets ideas occasionally jostle each
other little out of shape, but 1t is
filed with graphic portraitures of
human nature In Its more turbulent
estate.
The scenes between Guendolen and
her son. In which the latter informs
the queen of his fathers fatal secret,
and between Estrild and Sabrina, In
which the Scythian mother makes
known to her daughter the true sltua.

matte. The interest of the story Is
vividly sustained, and the plot handled
with almost the dertness of inspiration.
